Scottish Conservative drugs spokesperson
Annie Wells MSP told the Scottish Daily
Express: "This organisation has become
nothing more than a mouthpiece for the
SNP. They are enabling the nationalists
failed approach to tackling Scotland's drug
deaths emergency. Over Β£4million of
taxpayers' money has been given to the
Scottish Drugs Forum by the SNP to help
them lobby against common-sense policies
like the Right to Recovery Bill.

Disgraceful comments from Tory MSP Annie Wells about the Scottish Drug Forum.

Who would you trust more:

- an expert and user-led advocacy group who've real knowledge & ideas on how to tackle the drug crisis?

OR

- a Tory politician whose Government presided over failed "war on drugs" dogma?

"It is completely devastating that Glasgow has suffered another serious fire in the heart of the
city- our thoughts are with those businesses and workers who have lost everything. We wish to
thank the firefighters who bravely fought the fire at this historic corner of Glasgow.
"With the intensity of the fire exacerbated by vape products, and with multiple fires recorded in
our refuse service for the same reasons in recent years, Government must act on Greens long-
standing callto fully regulate and license vape products, including controlling how lithium-ion
battery products are stored, and consider whether these products are suitable or safe to be sold
on our high streets atall"
"The economic impact of this fire will be significant and the disruption will be felt for many
weeks, months and possibly years, so strong lessons must be learnt. We must see all levels of
Government look towards how we urgently rebuild what is a true cornerstone site of Scotland's
busiest railway station -we can't keep letting Glasgow's built heritage go up in flames"

Everyone in the Glasgow Greens' thoughts are with all those who have lost everything in the devastating fire on Union & Gordon St.

Fire on union st, currently destroying buildings from the side entrance of Central Station through to Gordon st

The Union St fire is so intense, it's hard to say just what devastation it will bring to the City Centre yet.

I hope we will see this eventually under control, & urgent discussions by all levels of Government & owners to assist rebuilding a true cornerstone of Scotland's busiest railway station πŸ’š

Joani Reid MP once demanded "the British public deserves to know" whose side Jeremy Corbyn was on with Russia.

Now, the British public deserve to know whose side she is on & if she has financially benefited from an alleged Chinese Spy.

Anything less must call her position as an MP into question.

Investment in grassroots sport will lead to long-term benefits for our communities.

We must support our local football and sports clubs and address barriers to participation.

City Property are risking Glasgow's cultural & community hubs not just at Trongate but across the city with their eye-watering rental policies. ❌

They must urgently rethink & withdraw these bone-headed plans if we are to see Glasgow's cultural and community spaces continue πŸ’š

Football clubs are often the beating heart of their community.

An excellent example is @strochsfc.bsky.social founded in 1920 and play at James McGrory Park, Glasgow.

It was a pleasure to join @anthonycarroll.bsky.social on this visit to see the excellent work the club are doing! πŸ’š

Labour threw the kitchen sink at this, with some of the most sinister smears I've ever seen, & still lost. ❌

Well today, people voted for change - and if you don't like the change voters have made Kier, I say the door is open, and you can leave. πŸ’š

From dodgy bar charts to degrading drug experts - Labour have been shameful this by-election, & aren't fit to win another election.

Drug deaths have risen every year for 13 years.

That’s 13 years of a failed β€œwar on drugs”.

Labour should be looking at legalisation, control and regulation - not playing politics with people’s lives.

This is a public health crisis. Treat it like one. Not a game.
